I know everyone loves their own color and they have their own opinions which is great!!! BUT I have to say that I own a Deep Impact Blue and I think it is one of the most beautiful colors I have ever seen. My first 2015 Mustang GT was Black which I loved but I got kind of tired of it after just a few months, very hard to keep clean and just no color.

After I had an accident I had the opportunity to pick a new color on a new Mustang. I am SO SO SO happy I chose DIB. In the sun it pops like the most beautiful blue I have ever seen, very dark but with the metallic flakes that make it absolutely explode. But I think the absolute best time to look at this car is under a street light at night. The car takes on a whole new look altogether!! It is almost a sinister dark blue/ purple that looks different at every angle you look. If you are looking for a lot of color but something that maybe isnt so eye catching or flashy as red I would seriously consider the DIB!!!

Best of luck to you and remember that no matter which color you choose you are getting one of the sweetest rides on the market!! :cheers:

I think my only problem with magnetic is exactly what you said. The black wheels do kind of dull it all down. I think I'm set on magnetic but need to find the right wheels to bring it all together.

Like these

Actually, I would say bronze would work the best for me. definitely check out Forgestar f14 bronze. I believe I have seen a pic from the forum and it is amazing on magnetic. Also, gunmetal will do as well, as it is gonna widen my selection of wheels I might just get a gunmetal wheel and If i don't like it that much, I will try to plastic dip or powdercoat it to bronze.

Bronze is an awesome wheel color. Definitely stands out from the crowd. I think black, ruby red, magnetic, and deep impact blue can pull that color off nicely.

I agree with this one totally... The Shadow Black, IMO is dull, I had a Tuxedo Black ST and it had way more character with having metallic in it. DIB in the CS with the black accents is killer. Every person who I know who see's my car almost immediately says "love the color". I was pretty close to owning Magnetic but since I already owned a 15 Magnetic Explorer Sport I didn't want two vehicles with the same exact color.

Don't think you can go wrong with any color on the S550.

Well, except TY, CO, and IS. Those colors suck:eek:
It's true. CO sucks so bad, people can't help but sticking their thumbs up in my direction. It's rough.

IMO, CO, race red and triple yellow are the most eye catching color that makes the s550 almost looks like a supercar. Yeah I mean those colors are making it as eye catching as ferraris.

The More I dig and look the harder it gets....I'm now Loving DIB as well, RR turns me off a little if paint chips easy, DIB seems equally as stunning BUT I keep thinking just get Magnetic and be done with it :) I'm going around in circles... RR,MAG, and DIB are very nice equally so...hopefully I can see these three in the flesh and 100% settle it but for now I can't see a reason NOT to go Magnetic...

I haven't had any paint chipping issues and the reference as to the paint being thin is totally unsubstantiated.
People need to realize that the clearcoat on the Ruby is tinted red, unlike the other colors.

I did find it odd. Thicknesses should be same in every colour?
